You may have heard the phrase work smarter not harder. But sometimes we cause ourselves to work harder by not focusing on what needs to be done. One way we do this is though procrastination.

When people procrastinate, they do it in an effort to avoid an unpleasant or less desirable task they want to avoid doing. They think that if they avoid doing that task, it will be easier to complete the project they are working on. In truth, procrastination only makes you work harder to accomplish the project you are trying to complete.
